Paul said in ____, [You also must] consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus (NASB).

• A. Romans 3:23
• B. Romans 6:11
• C. Romans 8:28
• D. Romans 12:1

Answer: (B)

Believers are to identify with Christ’s death to sin and live in the new life He provides. The directive to “consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” invites a conscious, mental alignment with the truth that, through faith, you are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. This means sin’s reign over you is broken, and you now live responsive to God, empowered by Jesus who is the source of that new life. The phrase “consider yourselves” is a call to reckon or count this spiritual reality as true in your daily living, shaping choices so sin does not control you and you walk in obedience to God.

That exact exhortation appears in Romans 6:11, within Paul’s broader teaching that believers share in Christ’s death and resurrection to put sin to death and live for God. It anchors the practical outworking of the gospel—the way faith translates into daily conduct and decisions.

The other cited verses touch related themes—universal sinfulness, God’s providence for those who love Him, and the call to present one’s body as a living sacrifice—but they do not express this specific imperative to reckon oneself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
